The Public Works Authority (Ashghal) has announced Immigration Bridge at Al Gharafa from north to south will be closed for a month for emergency maintenance work. Ashghal said the structure of the bridge is safe and confirmed maintenance is limited to filling works and the asphalt sub-base.
Ashghal has requested motorists coming from north to south of Doha to make use of the temporary traffic diversion on Al Gharafa interchange (Immigration interchange) or to use Sabah Al Ahmed Corridor or Al Jamaa Street as alternate routes.
Road users coming from Dukhan Road towards Khalifa Street (Al Markhiya) should use the Immigration Tunnel. Al Luqta residents, who are approaching east, can use Makkah Al Mokarama Street and Omar bin Al Khattab tunnel as an alternative of Al Gharafa interchange (Immigration interchange) to avoid the temporary traffic diversion.
Madinat Khalifa North residents can use the bridge connecting Madinat Khalifa North with Al Ittihad Street if they approach Gharafa in order to avoid the traffic congestion which may be experienced at Al Gharafa interchange.
